With roughly 30% of an average household’s heat escaping through drafty windows and doors, it’s no wonder businesses are looking for more energy efficient window replacement options to save on bills this winter. Investing in energy efficient glass not only helps to save money, but it also helps reduce costs related to maintenance and overall environmental impact. Below are the two main types of energy efficient glass to consider for your business.

Low-E Glass

Installing glass labeled as Low-E, or low emissivity, is one of the easiest ways to save energy in your business. The lower the emissivity levels, the better the glass can deflect the sun’s heat and UV rays and keep heat from escaping from inside. This allows more controlled air temperature indoors while protecting furnishings from fading under harmful UV rays. In other words, this feature reduces energy costs and prolongs any repairs needed for your furniture and accessories.

Double or Triple Glazed Glass

Rather than using a single pane of glass to keep the heat from escaping, using two or three slabs of glazed glass with some space in between provides better thermal insulation.

Using argon gas between the panes acts as a natural barrier against the heat transfer while reducing the possibility of frost, condensation, and fogged glass. With this type of glass safeguarding your windows and doors, you’ll not only see a significant decrease in energy bills, but you’ll also experience a comfortable working environment.
